Well....you really can't blame anyone....with all the stuff hanging out like it is a smart person would keep their mouth shut

 

Wing?
Achilles...rebuild below my LEGG.
Calligraphy calliope calypso?

 

I've never known more people that were the perfect example of callipygous than the people here.

I think he actually enjoyed it. He's fairly indifferent to most things and takes everything with a grain of salt. But he was just totally in to everything we did there. Maybe because he's feeling good for the first time in his life, I don't know.

No one ever accused me of being smart, so...

Today's thought:
In the end it will be okay. If its not okay its not the end.


I forgot to clean out my coffee pot before I left a week ago. There's still quite a bit left in it, so I'll just reheat that.

Have a day!

 

Good morning DTR

Today we'll simplify our eloquation so as to assist in makingititmore feasible for all to participate in verbal banterage.

Today's word is:cir·***·lo·cu·tion
ˌsərkəmˌlōˈkyo͞oSHən/
noun
the use of many words where fewer would do, especially in a deliberate attempt to be vague or evasive.

Many previous posts in this forum are prime examples of circumlocution

Again please exercise caution while using this word, we don't want any blood spilled.

Have a magnificently wonderful day

 

Circumlocution?
Thats a round about way to not get to the point about something not quite right in the breakroom in a sorta kinda hodge podge angle of the dangle way to indirectly sway the direct topic of discussion idealistically speaking, redundant to my calculations, it might be a ball park guess.

 

Impressive!! Well played sir, well played

 

so sorry scottycanuck! rather circumlocution of the medical anatomy.....

glad you are back into your element.....

Hey Shorts!!! hope you enjoyed your stroll after a workout. bet some lookers enjoyed yer stroll 2...

brutal scary weather here yesterday, state of emergency(ies) south. we were out on motorcycles, got a surprise call from off work son. beautiful 225 ride after pulling down another tree. came home dodging lighting bolts and winds that brought a barn down and snapped trees. emergency alerts on cell phones. kinda 'oh snap' when that notice sounded....
woke up to 8 foot flash flood damage in the low areas we were riding through, buildings gone(Penn Yann ny) in the middle of the night.

"I am not a crook" (Nixon)
"I did not have secks with that woman" (Clinton)

The photo next to the definition of circumlocution is Eric Holder.

Or is circumlocution is medical procedure?

Chaikwa, bet Jake got a ton of attention out there. Man, how fun I bet it was watching him.

I like this word...
Hyperbole
My LEGGS are the most luscious example of limb beauty.
Now THAT'S a hyperbole.

 

I've dropped by to check things out but can't compete with the large intellect and words being used in here right now. It makes my head hurt

 

worry not; we speak common sense too....


feeling mercurious today. have to do a side job for the neighbor up the hill, saw me pulling a 35 foot black walnut up the hill to our wood lot for pick up, walked down the road to talk with me. love where we live. 55mph on blind curves and hills, adventure every day. neighbor is pretty agile.

younger cousin did a commercial shoot in Chicago area with the 'wing' suit. will try to get pics up. I jumped for her first solo dive, now she has about 3,000 jumps/bungies/cliffs/building and is a bank executive. never saw that coming.
